Pre and post deployment support

[Stan]

I appreciate your participation in the subject Ken, but on this matter I am closer to being a SME. Prevention of disciplinary failures in basic and early in enlistments may be more achievable through pre-screening however.

Hello Reed,
Not to be a wise old retired NCO herein, but exactly what would you have expected from Ken having read your quotes below?

Let's get a little less personal with the seniors and respect the fact that Ken's background and experience is significant and plays a much larger role than some acronym SME.

Back in my days, SME translated to 15 years minimum.

Regards, Stan

This seems to be important on a page w/ so many high grade officers and NCO's; I am a career smartass SPC. Turned down PLDC twice.
